Simple Xx template to print and color

One activity you might want to consider is to watercolor paint a frame for this template:

• Print the template and color in the X x.  Point out to the child which is the capital X and which is the lowercase.
• Cut out an X from a scrap piece of construction paper.
        
• Talk to the kids about how pirates would bury their treasure on an island and make a map of where they put it.  They would mark the spot where the treasure is with a big X  (X marks the spot).
• Make your own X marks the spot treasure map:
  • Draw a dot on a piece of white paper with a little stick figure or the word START.  
  • Have the children glue the X somewhere else on the paper.
  • Let the kids draw a line between the dot and the X.  It can be as wiggly and wandering as they like.
  • OPTIONAL:  Add little pictures of mountains, lakes, snakes, etc that you'd have to walk through to get to the treasure.
  • OPTIONAL:  Draw a treasure chest near the X  (now I know you're thinking, "but Leanne I can't draw!"  Well, daddy did the letter X with Kaitlyn and he drew the treasure chest for her -- if my husband, the accountant, can do it anyone can!
• Remember to color in your letters, then glue them to the center of your map.
